Bikinis & Swimsuits for Hourglass Shape Women

To be able to choose the perfect bikini for the hourglass shaped figure you firstly need to understand your body shape and what areas you should draw attention to and also what areas you should pull attention away from.

Main Traits of a Hourglass Shape Figure.

Bust and hips nearly the same size.

Well defined waist – 9″ or more smaller than bust.

Full Bust.

Shapely Legs.

To create that body balance the hourglass woman needs to take emphasis away from the bust shoulders and stomach and draw the eye to the bottom half of your body. As bikinis can be bought as separates they can be easily mixed and matched using design, pattern and colour to create that perfect bikini for an hourglass shaped woman.

Being hourglass your very lucky that most styles will

suit you as long as they don’t knock you out of proportion, just try different styles on and see what you feel best in.

Bikini Tops for Hourglass Shaped Women

Thicker straps are best for women with bigger bust such as the hourglass figures as they provide more support.

Under wiring in bikini tops will also help lift your large breasts. A longer tankini top can be a good choice as they come with supporting control panels to help suck you in and emphasise that tiny waist even more.

Avoid padded bikini tops as this will make you look bigger breasted.

Bikini Bottoms for Hourglass Shaped Women

To avoid your hips looking bigger you will need to avoid heavy design or ties that lie at the side of the hip on the bikini bottoms. Any chunky waistband design that sits on the hips or horizontal stripes will widen the hip area too so you want to avoid this if you are a cuddly hourglass.
